Deploying an I Series Appliance | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud
To add your new appliance information in the portal:
1.
Go to the Web > Network Devices > Device Management page.
2.
Click the New button above the table, then click Add Appliance.
You are taken to the Add Appliance page.
Define general settings
Under General Settings:
1.
Use the toggle at the top of the page to indicate whether this appliance is used for filtering (ON is the default). When filtering is set to OFF, the appliance can communicate with the cloud service, but allows all web traffic to pass through unfiltered.
2.
Enter a unique appliance Name (1 - 512 alphanumeric characters) and Description (maximum length 1024 characters).
3.
Select a Default policy for this appliance, and the Time zone used to apply policy settings.
You will have a chance to apply different policies to different internal networks managed by this appliance later.
4.
If you are using transparent NTLM authentication and your appliance is not connected to a local Active Directory instance, enter the Authentication domain that forms part of your users' NTLM identity. The NTLM domain is the first part of the domain\username with which users log on to their Windows PC; for example, MYDOMAIN\jsmith.
 
Important 
If you have connected your appliance to a local Active Directory for NTLM authentication, this field is not required because the appliance automatically retrieves domain information from the local directory.
5.
6.
Forward traffic to the cloud for advanced analysis is selected by default. This redirects appropriate traffic to the nearest cloud service data center for additional analysis. Clear this check box if you do not want any traffic to be forwarded to the cloud. All traffic will be analyzed through the appliance, without any cloud analytics.
